hello, many thanks macropod. I find one (and only one€”is there another?) way
to convert footnotes to endnotes (in Word:Mac 2008). That is: click into one
of the footnotes, press cmd-a (selects all footnotes), contextual menu
(right-click): Convert to Endnote. That brings all footnotes to endnotes, and
for some reason I can't figure out turn the arab footnote numbers into roman
endnote numbers, both in the main text and in the endnotes themselves. Plus,
it applies a character style to them, called Endnote Reference.
That's all pretty promising for a start. I don't need to clean up, all I
have to do is place the whole doc in InDesign and then cut the endnote
section out. (The endnote numbers arrive as numbers with no function applied
to them, other than when placing a footnoted doc and keeping them as
footnotes.)

But one problem remains. In the .doc, endnote numbers both in the main text
and in the endnotes have the same Character Stype applied to them (named
Endnote Reference, as mentioned above). When placed in InDesign, the
Character Style remains applied only to endnote numbers in the main text.
Those to the endnotes themselves remain without any CS applied to them. Their
Paragraph Style is Endnote Reference+, Character Style is None.
This would require manual formatting of hundreds of endnote numbers, which
isn't really an option. Might there be a solution to this? Or am I starting
the whole thing the wrong way?
